Bob Hoover Academy Reveals CarbonCub Donation

Three Kit Airplanes Dedicated to Helping the Non-Profit Thrive

On day 2 of EAA’s Oshkosh AirVenture, the Bob Hoover Academy announced an extremely generous donation from the Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation: three CarbonCub sportplanes.

The Bob Hoover Academy, led by CEO Sean Tucker, is a non-profit organization based out of Salinas, California. Its primary goal is to inspire at-risk teens using aviation as a platform. In their 12 years of operation, they have given hundreds of adolescents a purpose and a passion for the industry.

Several companies have stepped up to help fund the Academy’s mission. Game Composites, CubCrafters, and AOPA have all played a large role in its development and outreach. The newest donation, however, will open further doors for the organization and the teens it works to support.

The Siebel donation provides funds for three CarbonCub EX-2 airplane kits that will be integrated into the program. Alongside the curriculum, the teens will have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of aircraft construction, maintenance, systems, and eventually, flight. 

Tucker also explains that they will be providing internships and guaranteed interviews upon graduation. Tucker intends to take full advantage of the contribution. He has hand-crafted a future for the children who previously may not have had one, and, with the help of others, developed a plan to help them achieve success. “Just imagine people come to this place, spend all morning learning about science, technology, engineering, and math through aviation with the STEM curriculum, and then in the afternoon they go out and get their A&P skills in building an aircraft,” explains Siebel.

Both sides of the collaboration, plus those of us cheering them on from the sidelines, are extremely excited to see how this donation can change the future of the Bob Hoover Academy for the better.
